2. Take the quiz at the bottom of http://library.thinkquest.org/20991/alg/sci_not.html [if your browser's "back" button does not work with Thinkquest sites, use the "GO" [Netscape] or "GO TO" (under
edit menu) [Internet Explorer] to get back to this page.]
3. If you've been doing metric conversions so long you're getting
a little batty, check out these proposed units of measurement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_humorous_units_of_measurement. Ever
wonder why our measuring system isn't very systematic? Historical
info here. I imagine you may not have heard of all the units in
the first column here.
5. If you need a bit more practice on units of measure, dimensional
analysis, scientific notation, differences between accuracy and
precision, go to http://members.aol.com/profchm/basicmth.html and choose one or more of the
sites to explore.
After completing any exercises, you can review the site
much like you would a book report.
Using the ruler below, estimate
